Another "help me choose a car" thread

[panic mechanic]

If you had to pick between these two options, which would you take?
I narrowed my choice to these as I need an automatic daily driver that might withstand our stupid potholed rural roads. I'm not sure about the reliability of either.

How about buying a used Duster? (2020 model)

One is American, it will be more nicer than the other but it will leave you in tears.

Take the Duster, I know I am not being too fair to the Jeep but even if something breaks on the Duster it won't leave you cursing under your breath or over it while fighting with the dealership who also don't have any idea how to fix the problem.

In my mind all American cars are just a bunch of Fords waiting to break on you.

 

[HunterNW]

Between those two: Duster.

 

[Service]

This would be an easy choice for me. Duster, without a doubt.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Duster
It is R45k cheaper and you can buy around about 230 cases of Black Label quarts with that spare change

the Renegade is a Fiat wearing American clothing,
Budget wont stretch to a Toyota Rav 4?

 

[Neuk_]

Between those two, the Duster.

 

[PsYTraNc3]

The Renegade especially with that 1.4 is extremely problematic.
Duster all day

 

[nazmo]

Duster has become a proven choice

 

[UrBaN963]

Duster all day. That said, a Lada Niva beats both of them.
Suzuki Jimny not an option?

 

[pinball wizard]

Duster.

 

[Pufferfish94]

VW T-Cross not an option for that price range? Its a bit smaller for a daily driver.

Barely cheaper than the Duster in poverty spec, and will be way too small if he ever wants to use it the way the duster is intended.

 

[WaxLyrical]

Duster

But many nicer options in that class/price.

Duster

Friends had that renegade and it was so bad they took it back to the dealership after 3 weeks

 

[Smugs]

Get the Duster... That diesel engine is great.

 

[EnT@nGleD]

If your only option is those two vehicles, definitely the Duster!
